A Helljumper ending.

Rilik came upon a field of rolling hills, it was strangely familiar to him as he went throughout it's many hills and stumbled upon the place he never wished he had to return.

The battlefield, corpses still littered it's field and the crash sight was still there, he started off towards the abandoned ship for a look at what had become of everything whilst he was detained.

                                                            --------------------------------------------

"Boss, he's back." A voice echoed.

"I know they always come back, just depends on when." Said the deeper voice, the figure stood up, it's weapon in hand, energy pulsed throughout the bright weapon. The other figure held in it's hand a giant bulky weapon.

"Subject Koros is approaching the ship, command said they need him alive." Said the raspy voice. It started to climb the rest of the hill and began walk down to the ship.

"Captain, what was the ship's damage?" The lead figure said as they started descent down.

"Slipspace drive showed signs of an overload." The lead figure stopped and looked back at the second.

"But how is this still even here? The drive overload would have made a crater here and nothing else would even live here." The lead was getting rambunctious as they got closer to the ship and the man they were after, the second figure just shrugged.

                                                             --------------------------------------------

Rilik was looking over the ship as he heard, foot step's approach, he dived into the cockpit and searched the hidden cabinets for a gun, he found an antique six shooter, he smiled as he checked it over, he pulled out a whole box of bullets for it, he recalled one of his last conversations to Rob.

                                                              -------------------------------------------

They had just arrived in a pawn shop, they were both on a colony planet at the time, Rilik had saw the antique revolver in the shop's glass case.

"How much for the six shooter?" Rilik asked the pawn broker.

"I'll give you it for one-fifty." The broker said as he took it out of the glass case.

"Aww Ril, don't waste a hundred fifty on that piece of junk, it's older than the Empire State Buidling!" Rob said to his friend "Get a new magnum or something those are better!"

"Rob, I want a piece of history not a new shiny coat magnum, these are where the gun industry spawned and that's where I'm putting my money!" Rilik said as he pulled out the money required for the pistol.

"Does it work?" Rilik asked.

"As fine as it did the day it got off the line." The pawn broker said as he gripped the barrel.

"Alright you got yourself a deal." Rilik took the gun out of the man's hand and gave him the money.

"Hey! You can't waltz on out of here with that you need to fill out some paperwork and you'll get the gun." The broker said as he walked to a register. Rilik and Rob followed suit, they got out of the pawn shop and Rob started the conversation again.

"You really like that gun don't you?" He said as he began smoking.

"Yeah, this is the gun I want to go out using! Thats how you go out in style Rob, firing your six shots into six heads and then go out in a blaze of glory!" Rilik yelled as he twirled the gun around like an old west cowboy.

"You're an idiot you know? If I know you, you're gonna fire six shots into a crowd, hit no one, and then die from getting hit by a rock." Rob and Rilik chuckled at Rob's overwhelming friend speach.

                                                     ------------------------------------------------------------

The world returned to Rilik as he remembered where he was, he drew the gun and held it straight aimed for the fool who tried to attack him, two figures appeared around the corner of the ship, they also held their guns ready to fire.

"Rilik Koros?" Came the voice of the lead figure.

"If I checked right I'm the only other human on this planet." Rilik said blankly at the new comers.

"Don't be a smartass, I'm Petty Officer Solcom a Spartan III, and I believe you've already met Captain Sparza." The spartan said.

"Sparza? How in hell did you make captain?!" Rilik asked the former private.

"Command promotes someone real fast when the squads senior officers ditch us and take a highly classified ship, one question, how did ya snatch it man?" Sparza asked.

"You'll be surprised what you can grab while you're the only one on guard duty." Rilik said lowering his gun.

"So not only did you steal it but you tried to blow it up? How come it failed" Solcom asked him.

"The natives are much more handy than I thought when I tried to blow them sky high."  Rilik said as he looked back at the ship.

"We were sent to retrieve you from whatever planet you landed on, I'm amazed you didn't find the tracker in that ship, you're important, you know things you don't" The spartan told him.

"What the hell is that supposed to mean, I'm a fucking nutjob?" Rilik said.

"No just the spooks words, we don't know shit about you, well Sparza might and I don't. Point is you're valuable to the war for some reason, so was Rob apparently, and you steal a prototype ship and take it for a test drive out in nowhere and command really wants all there toy's back." The spartan said with a hint of annoyance in his voice.

"Hey Sol, we got incoming air bogeys, we startled the natives!" Sparza yelled as he fired a few rounds into the sky with what looked like a silenced smg.  Rilik ran back to the ship again and took a satchel from another compartment. He put it in the pouch under his chest armor.

Many pegasi started to try and take shots at the three soldiers by trying to behead them with razor sharp wing fronts. Earth ponies emerged from the hills surrounding the ship, while unicorns had yet to make an appearance.

"It was an ambush! I shoulda known they'd be watching over this place!" Yelled Sparza as he fired another burst into the sky, the spartan used dual smgs and a hail of bullets into five charging earth ponies, they were all cut down in the storm of lead, Rilik fired a round into an eath pony and it's head burst off in gore, a pegasus charged him from the sky but was cut down as one of the massive revolver rounds tore of it's wing and back leg. Sparza fired a burst into the air again, a pegasus dropped but was quickly replaced as the new one grabbed Sparza's armor, Sparza had dropped his gun in the pick up and was dropped to the ground before he could do anything. Rilik saw the earth ponies kept taking shots at the spartan who was deemed the bigger threat in this battle, he fired the rest of the six shooters clip into the surrounding ponies, the spartan fired one hundred and twenty rounds into the surrounding ponies, his shield went down in the fray and the all the earth ponies had been mauled by the lead spewed from the guns, Rilik stowed the revolver in his chest pouch and walked over to the spartan, he was about halfway when bright lights flashed around the spartan and the two princesses appeared horns ready to impale him, his shields weren't up so they had clear shots.

"Not again," Rilik said as the spartan was impaled by the two sisters, he was twisted since they skwerred him in different directions. Riliks memory flooded with memories of Rob, everything repeated, he fell to the ground on all fours, he didn't want to watch what was going to happen next. He heard a scream and only the sound of hooves agaisnt dirt remained, he looked up to the thing above him, he knew what was next.

"We must demoralise them from ever coming back here! I vote we show his execution in the Canterlot square, everypony must come!" Cheers rose among the ponies.

2 days later....

"Ponies of Equestria! We have killed the aliens and to prevent further excursions from these beasts we shall execute this one in show of our dominance!" Rilik's hands were unbound, everyone was assured he could be no harm, they were wrong they neglected to check his chest pouch, he would have his vengeance. He was magically lifted by Princess Celestia.

"Enjoy your final moment's..." Came the words from Riliks mouth, he pulled out his revolver and shot two rounds into the princesses head, to make sure no reviving would be done he ran up to Luna, sidestepping a horn and put the gun to the equines head, and fired two rounds, the crowd watched in horror, they would be the center and finale of his life, dedication to vengeance. Four pins dropped to the ground and four circular objects rolled into the crowd, the ponies gathered round the objects, obvious mistake, gore erupted as the grenades blew up, sending chunks of blood and body parts all over, more grenades were chucked numbering a total of twelve, the crowd that didn't die or get wounded fled the assembly, the rest of them were either chunks of ponies or ponies with chunks missing from them. Rilik spun around and shot a guard pony in the face, another approached it's purple and gold armor shined in the daylight, Rilik was to slow and was impaled on it's massive horn, he gasped, blood spilled out of his mouth, the equine looked victorious if it had only remembered one thing, he had another round, Riliks gun fired into it's neck almost severing it's head from it's neck. He gripped the horn and kicked off the head of the equine, the horn came out, his wound bleeding more profusely, he tried to gasp for air, there was a light in his vision now.

"Rob, I did it for you man, Helljumpers and Hellbringers till the day we die." He said as his eyes closed and the light was the only thing he could see.

                                                                 --------------------------------------------------

There would be no memorial, no gravestone, no funeral, only piles of dirt near the spot where the ship crashed, the UNSC would have it covered up, labeling nothing happening and no operations taking place in the solar system,  casualty reports never existed, the spartan and the ODST's were wiped from the records making it seem they never existed, all family photos and memories of the ODST's faded the spartans flash clone was enough for them to leave him alone other than his service records which were wiped, the prototype gladius was labeled as stolen by raiders. Equestria after that day was only savage and brutal land after that, each tribe competed for who would have the next rulers crowned, soon the world would burn as the covenant would approach it soon enough and glass it, seeing the ponies an affront to their religion. Their stories didn't die with them that day, as Rilik made a log, this log was sent back to earth in a pod, so I tell you dear reader, don't forget these brave men, don't let their stories die with them.
